Ghostdancing Lyrics

Cities, buildings falling down
Satellites come crashing down
I see them falling out the skies like eagles
Mirrored gla*s and shattered egos

But in a corner of the world
We'd meet to laugh and drink and plan our sequels
'Cause in the alleyways and bars
Downtown, singing up from here to there can we go

This city comes alive at night
See these city walls are heaving
If these old city walls should crash
Amid the rubble, you'd find us breathing

Come say what you see in me
'Cause boy, I believe in you
Come say what you're seeing
All gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through

You talk about the Lebanon
You tell me 'bout the dawn in Eden
You talk about South Africa
I tell you about the Irish children

You say one more Polish Knight
Could come and blow away the doors to freedom
And if Mother Ethiopia could blow away the tears
We see run

O, blow them away
Blow, blow away
We will blow them away

O, blow, blow away
Blow, blow away
Blow, blow away

Come say what you see in me
'Cause boy, I believe in you
Come say what you're seeing
They're all gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through

Going all the way through
Going all the way through

You know I believe in you
Oh yes, I believe
You know I believe in you
You say you believe
I believe, I believe going all the way through, yeah

Going all the way through, yeah
Going all the way through

Come take me back home
Come on and take me away
Ghost dancing

And the car pulled up, the girl she jumped in
The boy he wore a medal that was shining from his skin
Windows pulled up, their radio tuning in
And she's hitting for the stars, he's hitting for the moon

She said, one last kiss while you look across the land
Move it into overdrive and take me by my hand
The car went broke, the rebels saw smoke
And they all went to heaven in a stupid fantasy, go

Take me away, away
Come, take me away
Come on and take me away
Come on and take me away
Take me away

Sun City, girl, Sun City, girl, Sun City, girl
Come on and take me away
Take me away, take me away to, to
Sun City, girl, Sun City, girl
